I think you're totally right for a load that needs a certain amount of power. But a CPU just needs to be able to flip transistor gates fast enough. They don't draw more current at lower voltage, so the lower the voltage, the lower the power. At some point, too low of a voltage won't let them flip fast enough for a given clock speed (or, eventually, flip at all)

On the seventh day, you only work 7 hours.

I kinda suspect that shared joy might repeat if a cancer vaccine was revealed.

We didn't collectively suffer long enough from COVID for its vaccine to be universally embraced...

They hate education and the educated.

Ignoring that, the placement of the burners makes no sense.

I think you're missing that it would be stuff that hasn't sold yet

You had me until that last group.

If you opt out of participating, you deserve whatever happens without you.

We're in this mess arguably because of all the people who chose not to participate.

Then why do you claim that liberal means blindly voting D no matter what? Your statements don't seem consistent.

But you're negatively judging Harris voters in swing states. To me that's like negatively judging people faced with the trolley problem who chose to pull the lever because death still resulted, and then suggesting the solution instead is to go advocate against trolleys and people who tie people to tracks, when in reality that's the same as not pulling the lever.

They may have preferred the outcome where she won but that was never going to happen no matter how you voted. The possibility that your vote was the difference between Trump and Harris, on the other hand, was within the realm of possibility.

We need ranked choice voting. But at the moment we don't have it.

It would have been amazing if you had an option of a third outcome, but the reality is you didn't. Life is full of situations where you have to pick between things that are both distasteful. But the trolley problem illustrates that opting out to avoid it is not an option at much as you try to convince yourself that it is.

If you look at the dictionary definition, it means pretty much exactly the opposite of what you said. Also, the D party is not highly aligned with the definition of liberal, so you're also wrong about it meaning always voting blue.
